This entire thread should be saved in the Smithsonian. It’s the most epic bikeshedding about the stupidest idea, with people emotionally tying it to their pet peeves. Capitalism! Walled gardens! Free software!

No, it’s just a bad idea because few people want it, and even if you did want it, you can, and even then it open a up issues of battery life, reliability, etc. we can barely get actual software makers to care about personal websites, let alone normal people. And then we want to argue people should be able to host on their phones? Good gravy.

Who are you to say what people want? Why limit your imagination? Why not think about the possibilities first? Why presume that things must be difficult?
I'm so excited to use a spatial computer (a mobile VR headset computer) that can connect to my phone with my friends. We can host and create AR apps like that.
